Old Man Boiendl 1454 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Spoiler Emperor Augustus I Horen sits at a desk in an undisturbed corner of the palace. He thinks back on the days of his youth. Looking up into a painting of his father, he asks for advice and guidance. “I have reigned long. Longer than I intended but enough to do what I wished to do. A new Kingdom was born beneath me. Stability and peace within humanity but still, I am not pleased. What must I do, father?” In many years, some may grow to say that the painting spoke to him then but, in truth, the light shone weakly through the painted glass windows and onto a opened letter containing a map. He’d been in possession of it for some time now. The last known whereabouts of his father and brother within Aeldin. It was then that the Emperor summoned for his last decrees to be made for his abdication. ✠ OF FATHERS AND SONS Issued and Confirmed by His Imperial Majesty Augustus I of House Horen,The 5th of Owyn’s Flame, 1706 There is no greater love between a Father and Son, as GOD loved Horen and his Children as do I love my children. So do I love my Father, his Imperial Highness Antonius. Since my ascension to Emperor I have watched my sons grow, all of them. And through the passing the time I have watched from close and afar as they developed into Men that I aspired to when I was young. We all come into this world with plans and we hope to leave it with them all completed. However, the truth cannot wait for death. It yearns to break free and let itself be known. So it is now, that I, His Imperial Majesty Augustus I of House Horen seeing that my children have come of age, unburden myself and step forward into the Light of GOD and confess my wrongs that I have put upon the blood of my blood. Let it be known that His Grace, the Duke of Adria, Paul Franz and his sister Velara are not the children of Ratibor Carrion. They are of my blood, they are my children, created out of wedlock between myself and Alexandria Horen- my sister. Paul Franz and Valera are not of House Carrion, they are Jrent. I love my son as my Father loved me. I allow the Duma of Adria to decide upon my son Paul Franz Jrent continuing his reign and that he is to form a Cadet Branch of the House of Horen and take up the name of that Branch. In unburdening myself I see that my life is not here, in the Empire of Man or on this Continent. I am not to remain living above the City of Helena, roaming the gardens and living out my days in peace and whatever harmony can bring a Father who conceals a Son. My mind and spirit draw me to Aeldin to search for my father and brother. It beckons me to speak with them as we did when I was young. To beg for my father’s forgiveness in having played a hand all those years ago in his exiling to Aeldin. I, His Imperial Majesty, Augustus I of House Horen therefore abdicate the Crown of the Empire of Man and all of my titles to my legitimate son, His Imperial Highness, Crown Prince Antonius of House Horen. He shall continue to guide the Empire of Man as I have and my predecessor. He shall expand our wealth, our territories and our Faith. He is the rightful Protector of Man and Holder of the Mark of Pertinax. My son, Prince Romulus is to be granted the Duchy of Cascadia. May he rule in GOD’s Grace and Wisdom which were levied upon me and His Imperial Majesty Aurelius I of House Horen. In abdicating to my Son, I first establish what shall act as the Line of Succession until my Son, Antonius is blessed with a child. His Imperial Highness Prince Antonius of House Horen | His Imperial Highness Prince Romulus of House Horen | Her Imperial Majesty Empress Helen of House Horen In the event that those named in the line of succession are unable to rule and be Crowned, the Empire of Man is placed in the Regency of His Imperial Excellency the Archchancellor Mister Edward Henry Morris. These are my final decrees, carried out upon the publishing of this letter. IN NOMINE DEI HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Augustus I of the House of Horen, Emperor of Man, King of Renatus, Marna, Mardon, Salvus, Seventis, Savoy, Courland, Santegia, and Norland, Duke of the Crownlands, Cascadia, Avar, and Frederica, Count of Carolustadt, Alamar, Frederica, Thesmer, Thelen, Lorath, and Cantal, Baron of Darkwood, Gravelhold, Fidei Defensor, Protector of the Heartlanders, Highlanders, Farfolk, etcetera.

Axelu 4333 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Maria d’Anpalais remains moderately slackened as her pale eyes survey the proclamation’s contents, setting it aside moments afterward with a flippant exhale following in suit. Aleksandra Sophia blinks in bemusement, proceeding to mutter an array of expletives in light of the news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei widens his eyes as he reads the news, knowing it states in the Imperial Law Codex that this is not allowed and that it is a felony, punishment would be death by hanging or beheading. But since it is his Overlord he holds his tongue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyselia 2962 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Emigliana is innerly mortified, though not as much as the time when Paul “Jrent” proposed to his ex-cousin. “It must’a be in their’a blood.” She shrugs, and departs the busy tavern where the news had been read publicly.
